About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making life happen

ABOUT ME

I find it hard to write a description of myself if I am constantly changing, growing, exploring.

Here's what I know so far about myself:
Favorite things to do include swimming in waterfalls, hot springs, rivers, lakes, and oceans, sleeping and reading in hammocks, camping on beaches, in forests, on mountains, in backyards, or in random parks, speaking Spanish and now Chinese, dancing (every and all types just as long as I get to move my body to music), and my favorite is wandering through a village, jungle, beach or mountain and pretending time doesn't exist.

Things that make me happy are warm hugs, smiles, colors, rainbows, stars, the sunrise, the sunset, new friends, old friends, cuddles, being barefoot, fun headbands, food, and peanut butter.

I love learning and I am doing it all the time, from adults, from kids, from animals, from troubles, from miracles, always always observing and learning about the beauty of life.

I love traveling and have spent most of the last 6 years moving to new places and studying, working, living there until I feel the need to choose a new adventure. I have no idea how I will ever settle down because I usually fall in love with every place I go!

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your heart, what your deep down passions are telling you, just go with it and know God will be with you the entire way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am participating by getting to know other people and listen to their stories while sharing my stories and my experiences. When I get my own place I will participate by offering a couch to anyone who would enjoy sharing a part of their story with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

o my goodness i can't even describe how amazing my experiences traveling Europe, Asia and the United States have been with CS!! I honestly could write an entire book on them but could never even begin to describe them here on this page! I also just started hosting surfers in Chicago with my family while I am figuring out the chapter of my life.

Interests

I love dancing to any kind of music!! (salsa, merengue, bachata, country, tecno, reggae, irish, anything) which also means i love listening to any kind of music as well! I love hearing stories and telling stories. I love mountains and oceans, rivers and lakes, languages (especially spanish!!! i looove speaking spanish!)

I love basically anything that involves being outdoors! I love hiking, camping, skiing, water sports, rock climbing anything in the beauty of nature.
